' Fire Demon Visits Boswell
Springs at Midnight
LAMP SAID TO HAVE UPSET
Loss Estimated at $15,000, Without
ltisaraucb Ydlaed Works of
Art Consumed
Special to tlie Eveuing Review.
DKAJN, Or., June 15. About
midnight last night, fire totally des
troyed the hotel at Boswell Springs,
two miles Bouth of here, together
with all of its' contents. While the
origin of the fire is not definitely
known, it is reported that it was
caused by the upsetting of a lamp.
This famous health resort, which
was owned and operated by the lute
Capt. Ben D. Boswell, for about
twenty years previous to and up to
the time of bis death, which occurred
a year ago last May, and since that
time by his widow, was originally
known as Snowdon Springs, a name
derived from the first settler on the
premises. Many people throughout
the entire northwest have been
greatly benefitted and many cures
have been effected by the use "of the
' water at these springs aud the loss
Is very unfortunate, coining as It has
just at the opening of tbe season.
The house, which was quite a
large building, contained much val
uable furniture and bric-a-brac and
many splendid and valuable paint
ings, la which latter art Mrs. Bos
well was highly accomplished, und
Was surrounded by a very choice col
lection of roses aud other beautiful
flowering plants. Many improve
ments have been made within the
past few years, both in the building
nnd its surroundings and it is ex
tVfidiugly unfortunate that it should
be thus wiped out and especially so
on account of there being not a cent
y of insurance on the destroyed prop
erty, so we are informed. It is quite
unlikely that Mrs. Boswell will try to
rebuild. The property loss, all
things considered, is probably not
jf less than 15,000. There was only
one guest in the hotel when the fire
occurred, a lady, and she lost her en
tire wardrobe.
Fred Wilcox, who has been em
ployed here as a clerk in tbe S. P.
freight depot, leaves next week on
his return to Grants Pass.
Lee Dillard, of the Marsters Drui;
Co., and Simon Caro, the local cloth
ier, are opposing candidates for
school director at a school election
being held In this city th it' after
noon. The Lane school house Is tbe
polling place, and up till 4 o'clock
this afternoon 95 votes had bee:i
registered. Balloting will close at
6 o'clock this evening. The annual
report of Miss Clara Dillard, the dis
trict clerk, shows that during the
year just closed the bonded indebt
edness of the local schools de
creased almost $6,000. This 1b an
excellent record for the board of di
rectors, which consists, of M. F. Rice,
B. W. Strong, J. C. Fullerton, J. A.
Buchanan and Louis Barzee. The
director to be retired by today's
election is Mr. Rice, who ends four
years' effliclent service.

i:::::::C01LD NOT AGREE
Chas. Troub lti-lk-t
uwuy or Drowned.
Anxious relatives are searching
for some trace of Charlfcs Troub, who
has mysteriously disappeared from
the Sheridan farm, one mile south
of town, where he resided with bis
wife's step father and mother. Mr.
and Mrs. J. I. Spriugsted. Troub,
who Is a little past 21 years of age
and the father of two children, who
with their mother live witli the
Sprlngsteils, left home yesterday
morning between 9 and 10 o'clock,
with a rod and line, stating that he
was going fishing. That was the last
seen of him. Naturally ularmed at
his failure to return, .Mr. Springsted
this morning began a search along
the bank of the river that Hows past
the premises and about one-half
mile west of the house came upon
Troub's rod and line, the line minus
the hook. Springsted's first thought
was that Troub had been drowned
in some manner, lie had been in
the habit of going in swimming, but
there was no cluthing at the spot
to support such a theory. Springsted
then made a search up and down
river for a considerable distance, but
discovered no further trace ofothe
missing man. Not snilsncd, how
ever, he employed some men to
senreh and drag the rver from a bout
and this work is now being perform
ed. At this time of the year the wa
ter Is low and the bottom of the riv
er can be seen in most places, ren
dering the work of the searchers
comparatively easy.
There is a theory that Troub de
liberately left the country, framing
up the fishing expedition merely to
hide his real Intention. So far as
learned, however, his domestic life
was perfectly happy, so he could
have had no reason for leaving his
home on account of family matters.
Previous to coining west from Ohio
about two months ago Troub indulg
ed In a runaway escapade, and this
affords ground for the belief that he
has done the same thing again.
Troub Is described as being of
medium height, weighing about
1 til) pounds, being smooth shaven,
having light, curly hair aud blue
eyes. lie wore a brown cap, t
brown coat, soft shirt, blue bibbed
overalls and rubber-heeled shoes.

drawn from the contest The Cortel

out.

Special to the Eveninw Review.
CHICAGO, June 16. Trumpeting
wildly and with the scent of battlo
in hia proboscis, a trillo lingered,
perhaps, by tho prodding of ambi
tious ones who are attempting to
climb upou his buck, but still sound
of wind und limb and eager for the
fray, tho old war eloimnnt or the
Grand Old Party was again led forth
iu Chicago today. It is well that the
aged Delist of burden Is In good con
dition, for It the enthusiasm of the
Tuft boomers today is any criterion,
the G. O. P. ulnphaut will have a
hefty candidate to carry la this
years race. While the main show In
the Coliseum will not open., until
noon tomorrow, prnctlcolly. all tho
performerB, scene shifters and aud
ience are uo win tbe city and every
tuvern In the big town 1b displaying a
"btunding room only" sign.
While many of the thirteen preced
ing national conventions of the Re
publican party have not been lack
ing iu spectacular features, this
year's performance" promises to be
the liveliest in Ub history. While all
the surl'uce indications point to the
speedy nomination of Taft, probably
on the II rut ballot, the specter of a
"second elective term" and a stam
pede to Roosevelt Ib still looming In
the background. Not all of the allies
have yet given up hope nnd the sup
porters of Hughes, Fairbanks. Knox
and Cannon are nt times unable (o
make themselves heard above the
deafening din of tho Taft men.
The candidates for vice-president
are also receiving much intention
from the delegates and thousands of
politicians and the supporters uf tbe
various nien now in the field are urg
ing the merits of their favorites with
the greatest vehemence Thoro is
general talk today that Fulrbanks
may succeed hlnuelf, but this is
strenuously denied by delegates from
btates having favorite Bona of their
own. From all Indications the fight
for second place has narrowed down
to Hecrttary Cortelyou and Senator
liolll 'or, with tho chances favoring
the lutter because he Is understood
to he the choice of Tuft.
.Manager Frank 11. Hitchcock,0 of
the Tafl headquarters, Is claiming
7 JO votes for his candidate on the
first ballot find declares that no oth
er ctndttiote will be seriously core
sldered. As only 491 votes are nec
essary to nominate, a loss of 200
from this estlinute would still leave
Taft the victor. Manager Humphrey
of the Hughes headquarters alleges
that the New York candidate will re
ceive not lesB thu:: 125 votes on tho
first ballot.
Many prominent negro Republi
cans are In Chicago today aud this
morning commenced a confereuce at
the ulnn chupel. Speeches announc
ing opposition to Taft were made,
but no spr.-iHc favoritism as to candl
dutes was shewn.
No portraits have been allowed
among the embellishments of the
Coliseum. The convention hail will
he absolutely "iry" during the con
vention. It having been decided that
"no liquor shall be sold, served or
brought to tho convention hall."
It Is generally believed that the
Taft platform will be adopted as u
declaration of principles by the con
vention.
In regard to the tariff, the plank
will rear):
"In government, we stand for ft
revision of the tariff by a special
Menaiuii of the next Congress, Insur
ing the nialnteniinco of the true prin
ciples of protection by imposing such
customs duties as will equal the dif
ference between the cost of produc
tion at home and abroad, together
with a reasonable profit, to the end
that, without excessive duties, Am
erican manufacturers, farmers, pro
ducers and wage-earners may have
adequate protection."
With a view of doing away with
srtiTie of the evil effects of the cur
rency law Jsut enacted there will be
t pledge that the next congress shall
take up the currency question nnd
enact a permanent law that will es
tablish safe and satisfactory mone
tary conditions and relieve the busi
ness of the nation from the feat of
panic.
It Is also understood thnt there
will be a plank lavoring anii-injunc-
Inul.lflllr.n .ml nlh.r If'trUlll t ll 111
favorable to labor, which Secretary
Taft Is known to bhvocstp earnestly,
and that something will be said r co-
prcling the rights of the negroes and
I the progress made by that ruce, in
I tended to counteract the effect of
Foraker's agltatlou of the BrowuE
flle question.
The Roosevelt policies respecting
the regulation of railroads, the pro
secution of trusts, nnd the conserva
tion of natural resources are to be
Indorsed and their continuance
promised. According to the present
understanding the whole document
will be one that Taft can himself ac
cept and that the country will ap
prove. 1 he convention will be called lo
